Against The Ground
01:36
|

|
Time, don’t be the reaper of the young
We’ve got the pulse against the beat against the ground
We see our dreams vanish every single morning
And every chance could be our last
When you’re calm waiting by your mother’s side
When you’re calm waiting for a storm
When you’re calm sleeping by the fireside
Would you come away with me?

Here We Go Again
03:39

Jenny was one of the boys
She screamed from the top of her voice
“Where did everybody go?”
She’s red wine zipping repeat
But the word is out on the street
That she should’ve gone slow
‘Cause she is only happy when she’s dancing in the rain
Mixing all the liquid stuff that hurts her brain
Here we go again
And here we go again
Running down the sidewalk
Running down the tracks
Here we go again
And here we go again
And then she’ll call it the miracle wasteland
Jenny knew how you felt
But the ice surrounding her heart
May never melt
She left and didn’t say why
But the tears under your eye
Will eventually dry
‘Cause she is only happy when she’s dancing in the rain
Mixing all the liquid stuff that hurts her brain
Here we go again
And here we go again
Running down the sidewalk
Running down the tracks
Here we go again
And here we go again
And then she’ll call it the miracle wasteland

Moonlit Skies
03:19

We said goodbye under moonlit skies
But you, you were already gone
You traveled on to a distant dawn
Lost and alone you go on
You said that you don't belong here
But you never said you'd go
Now you're walking fast
Through cities all covered in snow
Meet you on the train
The weatherman is promising us rain
And I look all the same
I'm waiting for you here
No need to fear
We'll disappear
And let our footsteps remain
I live alone under moonlit skies
But summer is already gone
But I found a note in the song you wrote
Lost and alone it goes on
It said, "Life isn't always a beautiful thing
But I guess you know by now"
And I would see you soon
If someone could ever show me how
And I'll meet you on the stars
We’ll float around like Mercury and Mars
The strings on my guitar
Play chords that are sweeping through
The notes that are greeting you
Wherever you are
So come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Meet you on the stars
We’ll float around like Mercury and Mars
The strings on my guitar
Play chords that are sweeping through
The notes that are greeting you
Wherever you are

All I Remember
04:03
|

I could have asked you to dance
When you told me your favorite song
Was the one that you heard
In the oxygen coated convertible
Now the leaves turn yellow and gold
And your house is empty and cold
I could comfort you or sing for you
Like I was supposed to
But you called me up and said
“It’s best we forget”
But it’s all I can remember
On a rainy day
When our feet were merry and light
In the heat of a warm summer night
In a foreign land
When you took my hand
Like no one should notice
How your heart would beat like a drum
We were strung out on cocaine and rum
When you began to dance
And I had no chance
If I didn’t follow
That was many years ago
Now your heart beats slow
But it’s all I can remember
On a rainy day
Yes it’s all I can remember
On a rainy day
I could have asked you to stay
Or at least just have something to say
But I kept in line
And I fell behind
And you didn’t notice
That the leaves are yellow and gold
And my house is empty and cold
Why you had to go
I’ll never know
But I’m not supposed to
That was many years ago…

Sally Johnson
03:14

Sally said she had always wanted to run away from home
She got a fake ID with a name that said ‘Marie’ and she threw away her phone
She said, "I never lost track, and I'm not going back - there's nothing you can do"
Now she's far away and she better pray
For a miracle or two
Sally try not to fight vertigo
Could you leave without screaming, "Let me go"
Why’d you wanna run away we’ll never know
When the cold wind blows
And Sally I miss you
But not if you want me to
Someone tell me it's not true
There was only you
Someone says Sally Johnson was found in a trailer all alone
They found her fake ID in a bag of LSD and a letter from her home
They say she never lost track and she's not coming back - there's nothing you can do
Now she's far away and you better pray
For a miracle or two
Sally try not to fight vertigo
Could you leave without screaming, "Let me go"
Why’d you wanna run away we’ll never know
When the cold wind blows
And Sally I miss you
But not if you want me to
Someone tell me it's not true
There was only you
On a tombstone moist and cold
It spells Sally Johnson out in gold
And though I know she lost control
May God have mercy on her soul
Sweet Sally's never growing old
Not even prayers could save her soul
She was the queen of rock’n’roll
Until her heart turned cold
Sally try not to fight vertigo
Could you leave without screaming, "Let me go"
Why’d you wanna run away we’ll never know
When the cold wind blows
And Sally I miss you
But not if you want me to
Someone tell me it's not true
There was only you

She was a girl selling gramophones
She let her blond hair hang loose
She liked the boys from The Rolling Stones
And she could dance with whomever she’d choose
She went to London to see her friends
She let her blond hair hang loose
She knew the style and the latest trends
With her black shades and white go-go boots
‘Cause she was always everywhere
With laughter and flower in her hair
And she could turn the dark sky blue
And she would dance a million dances for you
She met a boy with a cocaine nose
He let his blond hair hang loose
He took her hand and he held her close
‘Cause he could dance with whomever he’d choose
He was a boy from the magazines
He let his blond hair hang loose
He spend his time kissing teenage queens
And getting stoned and playing rhythm’n’blues
And she was always everywhere
With laughter and flower in her hair
And she could turn the dark sky blue
And she would dance a million dances for you
She fell in love just like young girls do
She let her blond hair hang loose
But he kicked her out and ripped her heart in two
And very soon she was yesterday’s news
She walks the streets with a powdered nose
She let her blond hair hang loose
She’s all alone now and no one knows
How she once was somebody’s muse
‘Cause she was always everywhere
With laughter and flower in her hair
And she could turn the dark sky blue
And she would dance a million dances for you
And she would dance a million dances for you

Cellmates

Our restless guards with broken hearts are never coming back
They’re biting bones and breaking stones alone
They set the sails escaped the jails that kept our hearts apart
We stuffed our jaws before the doors of hell
Get in line we’re going down, down wait for the sound
From the broken parts that shiver in our hearts
Lay down stay down and cover up your eyes with lullabies
Lay down stay down and dream of dreams in which
The lonely ghost that haunts the most is crying in his sleep
He’ll twist and turn and slowly burn away
By unknown grace he hides his face and tries to stay awake
His silent sigh won’t kill his cry for help
Will you call when the rain falls down?
Will you call me like you used to?
Call like you’re not ashamed
Just like I called you mine
Get in line we’re going down, down wait for the sound
From the broken parts that shiver in our hearts
Lay down stay down and cover up your eyes with lullabies
Lay down stay down and dream of dreams in which we do not die
Lay down stay down and cover up your eyes with lullabies
Lay down stay down and dream of dreams in which we do not

Strange Heroes

Strange heroes always find me when I'm on my own
But you were there on the day when you told me
That he's moving on
Now nothing is what it was
No, nothing is what it was
Strange heroes always find me and David was one
But he left the station earlier in the morning sun
Now nothing is what it was
No, nothing is what it was
Everybody's leaving but I know you you're just moving on
I know you and I know it hurts in every single song
“But we could be heroes,” that's what you'd say
“Yeah, we should be heroes,” that’s what you’d say
Strange heroes always find me and David was one
But he left the station earlier in the morning sun
Now nothing is what it was
No, nothing is what it was

Die On A Friday
03:59
|
|||
|
Do you remember when love was a dream from above
That could keep you awake
And how you'd suddenly shake
When you looked in her eyes she's smiling at you
And she's beautiful?
It's Friday you're in love with the blue sky above
And no one could bring you down
Now as she is around
And I could stay with you
Forever in your arms
If you want me to
And I could die on a Friday
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday with you
When luck was sending you my way
I fell in love on a Saturday - it's true
Sunday you realize
She said, “Kiss me and close your eyes”
You don’t have to tell me twice - it’s you
Do you remember the nights under disco lights?
And the songs we’ll be singing
For the rest of our lives?
And how we kissed in the dark
With nothing to lose but
A beating heart?
You know it's Friday you're in love with the blue sky above
And no one could bring you down
Now as she is around
And I could stay with you
Forever in your arms
If you want me to?
And I could die on a Friday
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday with you
When luck was sending you my way
I fell in love on a Saturday - it's true
Sunday you realize
She said, “Kiss me and close your eyes”
You don’t have to tell me twice - it’s you
Are we who we were before?
If we could just go back once more
And stay up late and sleeping naked on the floor
It changed your life before

When Forever Comes Along
04:29
|
|||
|
Candle lights and Ferris wheels
Ordinary things that make you think that love is real
Horoscopes and stars aligned
Paying all your rent but still you’re stuck a month behind
So when – when forever comes along
She needs your hand and you need to be strong
‘Cause all she ever longed for
Was a boy to come along for her to marry
And all she ever dreamed of
Was a love so strong beyond imaginary
Sunday walks in morning sun
Though he’s kind of cute and all you know he’s not the one
Diet coke and roofies in your purple coffee cup
You know it’s not a lot but still enough to fuck you up
So when – when forever comes along
She needs your hand and you need to be strong
‘Cause all she ever longed for
Was a boy to come along for her to marry
And all she ever dreamed of
Was a love so strong beyond imaginary
So hold on still
‘Cause someone will
Hold on still
‘Cause someone will

Son Of Caesar Denmark
I was born on a mountain with the emperor looking my way. I was raised in a fountain. In the water I'd swim all day. And I wasn't longing for the riverside. I was waiting for the city lights to come on.
